How to Make Yogi Bhajan's Yogi Tea
- Bring 3-4 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot.
- Add 1 teaspoon of whole cloves and boil for 1 minute.
- Add 6-8 green cardamom pods, 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, 2 cinnamon sticks (3 inches each), and a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger (peeled and roughly chopped).
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 1-2 hours. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor.
- Add 4-6 black tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf black tea). Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat. You can choose to cool the tea completely, then strain and refrigerate overnight for a deeper, more nuanced flavor profile.
- Alternatively, strain the tea immediately. If using this method, add your preferred milk (dairy or non-dairy), bring to a boil, and remove immediately from heat.
- Sweeten to taste with honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sweetener.
